Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving the small turned parts industry a ‘shot-in-the-arm’ with a multitude of irresistible offers on its latest range of advanced turning technologies. Designed for CNC sliding head turning centres and cam-driven lathes, the DuoForceCut is an innovative range that is ideal for turning parts up to 12mm in diameter. With the ability to undertake parting-off, front and back turning, threading and grooving, the DuoForceCut can immediately reduce tooling inventory and maximise machining performance. As part of the 2024 promotional offer, Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving away a free toolholder when customers buy 10 inserts.

The toolholders are available in shank sizes from 6 by 6mm to 10 by 10mm to fit all compact turning centres and their common tool platten types and configurations. Furthermore, the free toolholder has a rigid and ground insert seat with an optimised clamping screw design that minimises movement, improves repeatability and creates a stable environment for high-quality precision machining whilst protecting unused cutting edges during machining. The DuoForceCut is applicable for a wide range of applications with insert geometries and grades available for parting-off, front turning, back turning, threading, and grooving with insert groove widths from 0.5 to 1mm. Perfect for machining everything from low carbon steel to alloy steel, stainless, aluminium and copper alloys, titanium and superalloys with remarkable performance levels.

For machining intricate and detailed work, Tungaloy-NTK UK has introduced its MiniV-LockGroove range of high-precision grooving and threading tools. Perfect for sliding head and CNC turning centres, the MiniV-LockGroove delivers astounding performance in both grooving and threading with exceptional accuracy and reliability. This performance is credited to a V-shaped insert pocket that securely clamps the insert whilst providing maximum machining clearance. With a secure V-shaped insert seat and high pressure through coolant nozzles directed to both the rake and face cutting edges, swarf evacuation, insert life and machining performance are all significantly improved.

With slim shank toolholders available from 8 by 8mm to 12 by 12mm, the MiniV-LockGroove is available as a toolholder with interchangeable inserts or as a modular head system with the corresponding ModuMini-Turn heads and shanks. Like the DuoForceCut, Tungaloy-NTK UK offers a vast selection of VGP insert grades for grooving and VGT inserts for threading applications in steel and stainless.

Complementing the MiniV-LockGroove tools is the FaceMiniCut, the new benchmark in deep face grooving. Specifically developed for deep grooving applications, the FaceMiniCut can groove up to 10mm DAXN and 9mm deep. The impressive machining parameters are the combined result of an extremely rigid insert clamping system, inserts with a sharp cutting edge and optimised geometry with a ‘chip redirector’ and an advanced SH7025 PVD grade.

Providing unsurpassed levels of stability and precision with exceptional tool life and surface quality, this innovative tool effectively removes chips with its through coolant system and chip redirector that prevents bird nesting and ensures a clean cutting area by rapidly removing swarf from the cutting area. The result is prolonged unmanned operation with the confidence that the machine can be left unattended to maximise your profitability.
